Community Matters
When Shane Homes was established in 1979, co-founder Cal Wenzel had the philosophy that the company would not only build quality homes within the community, but also help those communities grow.
Three decades later this philosophy still holds true, and the Shane Homes Group of Companies continues to be passionate about building strong relationships with the people who live in the communities in which we build.
“It’s a simple philosophy,” says Shane Wenzel, president of Shane Homes Group of Companies. “We are strong supporters of causes that promote health, wellness and education, and that help change people’s lives for the better.”
Over the years, we have re-invested millions of dollars back into the cities and towns in which we build, supporting the community and deserving causes. Our reputation for fairness, ethics and giving back has been one of our most valued assets. It is a pledge that we look forward to honouring in the years ahead.
Providing Support for a Happier Tomorrow
Supporting organizations that promote health and wellness is one of the three key pillars of our commitment to give back to the community.
A healthy body and a healthy mind allow all of us to make a positive contribution to society and we believe in taking a proactive approach. From funding high-tech medical equipment to sponsoring facilities focused on recreation and exercise, we are proud to provide our support to making for a happier tomorrow.

The challenge of providing affordable housing for lower income groups and not-for-profit agencies is being met head-on by the RESOLVE campaign. It's a unique collaboration of nine partner agencies raising $120 million to build affordable and supported rental housing for 3,000 of the most vulnerable and homeless Calgarians. Shane Homes is proud to be one of 11 Calgary home builder members of RESOLVE, supporting the efforts of the Calgary Homeless Foundation. At Shane Homes, we believe everyone deserves to have a place to call home and the RESOLVE campaign allows us and our industry to do what we can to provide a tangible difference and lend a hand to those who need it most.

As Shane Homes' founder Cal Wenzel says, it's difficult to predict when a disaster might strike, but you can predict one will strike. The Shane Homes disaster relief fund is a contingency against a disaster when it comes. With the devastating wild fires in Fort McMurray in 2016, the first release from Shane Homes of $50,000 went to the Fort McMurray Disaster Fund, which was given to the Wood Buffalo Community Food Bank, knowing that every $1 donated to a food bank generates $5 worthy of food.

Imagine going to work not knowing exactly how each day will unfold, but knowing full well it could mean attending to a severe accident where people are facing death or facing a crisis situation. Our first responders, peace officers, firefighters, emergency medical services, 911 dispatch and military personnel face deadly situations most us only read about or see on TV.
The Legacy Place Society, a non-profit charitable organization, brings first responders and their families together, bringing strength, mutual respect and legacies of hope to help them face the challenges they face each day. Since 2011, Shane Homes has proudly added our support through sponsorship of the annual St. Patrick's Day Run for First Responders and the Family Camp for First Responders and Military Personnel.
Helping Building Character Through Sport
We believe competition builds character, giving people, especially youngsters, a better chance of succeeding in whatever life path they follow.
From soccer to swimming, football to hockey, ringette to figure skating, we sponsor fields and pools, rinks and arenas and are particularly fond of creating opportunity and accessibility for people or families who might not be able to participate due to barriers, such as financial, distance and travel.

Kids Up Front and the Yards for Kids Program
We've all done it – bought tickets to an event, only to have something come up that prevents us from going. But what to do with the tickets? The Kids Up Front program collects unused tickets to a variety of arts, culture, sports and recreation events and distributes them to kids and their families who don't ordinarily have the opportunity to attend events of this type. In addition, we donate one dollar for every offensive yard gained by the Calgary Stampeders throughout the regular season, which is approximately $10,000 year to year to the Yards for Kids Program. We're creating miles of smiles and lasting memories for Calgary's kids.
